Partly Grey Day

Pale Fritillary?

Dr. K, Willow and I got some sun on our morning hike, but it's been pretty grey, windy and chilly most of the day; we're supposed to get rain this evening into tomorrow morning.  We got in a nice trek before returning to the cabin and leaving a bit later for Alamogordo where we did some shopping at Lowe's Signature Market and got gas before heading back up the mountain.
